Roll up! Roll up! Fans of Lemony Snicket's SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS brace yourselves for an adventure of a lifetime. Witness the freaks, wonders and oddities at the Dime Museum. Tread the path of the four extraordinary children who live there... The book is about, among other things: the strongest boy in the world, a talking cockatoo, a faulty mind reader, a beautiful bearded lady and a nervous magician, an old museum, and a shrunken head. Blessed with extraordinary abilities, orphans Philippa, Sam, and Thomas have grown up happily in Dumfrey's Dime Museum of Freaks, Oddities, and Wonders. Philippa is a powerful mentalist, Sam is the world's strongest boy, and Thomas can squeeze himself into a space no bigger than a bread box. The children live happily with museum owner Mr. Dumfrey, alongside other misfits. But when a fourth child, Max, a knife-thrower, joins the group, it sets off an unforgettable chain of events. When the museum's Amazonian shrunken head is stolen, the four are determined to get it back. But their search leads them to a series of murders and an explosive secret about their pasts.

Roll up! Roll up! Fans of Lemony Snicket's SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS brace yourselves for an adventure of a lifetime. Witness the freaks, wonders and oddities at the Dime Museum. Tread the path of the four extraordinary children who live there... Lauren Oliver has recently partnered with a most interesting man, H.G. Chester of Miskatonic University, RI. An eminent scholar of American history and avid collector of unusual relics (specializing in the most macabre objects obtainable from the first half of the twentieth century), Mr. Chester had the good fortune - or ill luck, perhaps one should say - to come into possession of the estate of Dumphrey's Dime Museum of Freaks, Oddities, and Wonders, an operation of its kind established in lower Manhattan in1929 and closed only twenty-seven months later in mysterious circumstances.Among the archives and artifacts of the Dumphrey estate, Mr. Chester discovered a tale waiting to be told - one rife with the sort of thrills and horrors which would in an earlier era have been deemed very likely too scarifying for the public, but which may well be of interest to the young reader of today. Mr. Chester immediately sought out Lauren Oliver to be his co-writer, and she has woven Mr. Chester's interesting inheritance into a magical tale well suited to young readers. The Curiosity House will be a narrative history of the Dumphrey Museum saga, relating the story of four children of extraordinary abilities - there is Sam, the world's strongest boy; Filippa, the mentalist; Max, the world's greatest female knife-thrower (she's better than all the boys, too); and Thomas, the magician's assistant - who must solve a string of murders taking place in or around the Museum at which they are employed as human marvels, while at the same time coming to grips with their experimental origins and astonishing talents. (Hint: they are no actors, but are the genuine articles!).
